I...don't think anyone is super OP. I've fought an army of Karins with Vega and I never felt like I was at any kind of disadvantage

I will say ~as of right now~ Necalli and Rashid feel underpowered compared to the rest of the cast but it's so early at this point that there's probably some tech people haven't discovered yet. And, as everyone has said, shit's going to change a lot between now and March.

Man, Rashid is fucking stupid good.
 
Alioune has Necalli at #1 in the rankings. It's unlikely that he's actually bad.

Most of that sounds horrible :S


It's stuff like this that makes me regret playing before the have is out, I would have been happier without playing the first beta.
The worst part is that Bison's Psycho Inferno goes far less high, which results in it looking less cool. :-(

I also feel like c.MP looks less cool and energy-like, but that might just be placebo.

Never getting matches and laggy when they come. Chilling at rank 60k. Dang
It is a beta so i'm cool with it. Lots and lots and lots of offline.

To all the PC players; What hardware do you have and how is the game running so far? I've held out on buying PC parts due to this game. Looking to throw something cheap together to play it and my other fighting games.

I think it's just random since I'm ranked 7k or so and got matched up with whoever is rank tenth.

Maybe your level was similar? Things seem pretty consistent in terms of that for me now, at least.

Edit 2: Or maybe not. Level 19, going against a level 33.

I guess there's 8 minutes left. It was fun. I've had matches consistently today, and they've generally been pretty good in terms of lag.

Dude Rashid's buttons are better than Karin's.

I admit I didn't actually give Karen much attention this beta, but her c.mk has to be better than his. But I could be wrong, not much time to figure out spacing in training as I was lucky and had really good success finding matches this beta.

If you watch his Necalli play, the character will click. He's really defensive/reaction based.

Intriguing! See, this is why you can't cry balance issues after a few days.

I5-4440 Processor
16GB ram
Radeon HD7850 2GB video card

I'm able to run at a smooth 60fps at 1600x1200 with a mix of high/medium settings.

All settings on high except post processing and shadows.

RIP Beta. Finished it with two nice victories so I can't complain!

I hope they don't nerf Rashid like they nerfed everyone else, he just feels great ( as in, nicely balanced IMO)

And its over. I think I will buy a PS4 again at Black Friday, just to ensure a smooth performance. The game should work on my laptop, but it didn't.

Got one last match in. It was against the 6th rank Ken when I'm a noob, I fought valiantly and almost took the second round after getting crushed the first round. Felt okay about that lol

To the asshole during the Rashid/Karin fight just now, before the servers were taken down, why did you purposely disconnect before I beat you? Why wouldn't you let me be great?

dammit I thought I had more time. Was just starting to get my shit together as Bison again and was on a winning streak.

I guess it's back to fucking Destiny then.

Got 9 hours in, which I'm fairly happy with. Spent my time with Cammy, Chunners and Karin, got whupped regularly but also won some matches and learned a few things.

Sadly, it's now time to

 
Well it ended at least I ended on a high note. I'm definitely glad I got to play about 8 hours on pc and Idk even know how many on ps4. I still wish I knew who was ps4 and who was pc. I'm kinda disappointed with the changes to ryu and nash hopefully when the official game comes out they get some good changes to them.

As a Bison, Rashid give me trouble to no end. That tornado spam, and I never have any idea when to counter. s.mk would get me only so far into punishing the dive kick.

I just wish there would have been more time. :(

You could see who was on what platform by checking their profile afterwards, but you definitely couldn't tell while you were fighting.

Enjoyed the beta but my main from previous games M.Bison needs his walk speed upping as I as really struggling. Ps I'm in love r.Mika and I'm wondering who did the voice acting for her?
 
I got to land one of those stupid stun setups with Mika on a real match so I'm satisfied

They are so fun to hit. Irish whip-crouch fierce resets, depending on how early you do it, you will either end up in front or behind them and recover as soon as they land, shit catches people off guard a lot.

Had my first rage quit before the beta ended. Ryu player took first round, then started taunting me. Took the second round, 20 seconds into the 3rd round hes stunned, in the corner, I do mic drop-s.mp-s.hp-critical art, as soon as he got sandwiched between those cheeks "opponent disconnected". Never taunt folks.

Beta was fun while it lasted, maybe next one I'll actually have a stick to use.
